Caleb might be the most athletic player getting to the rim as there is in this tough physical league. Explosive off the bounce. Can pull up and hit the mid range jumper. Has a strong body. He finishes through contact and has the athleticism to play over his defender.
Without question the best shooter in this league, which is a league full of really good shooters. A top three shooter in all of Long Island. A guard that knows how to get open. Finds the open spots on the floor. Moves well without the ball. His feet and hands are ready to pull the trigger off the catch even before the ball arrives. Real nice handle gets him in position to shoot the step back three or the side step three. Has shown the ability to get to the rim and score off the bounce. Has 11 games of at least 4 three pointers made.
D2 academic schools looking for a player with good size who can flat out stroke it from three. Heres your guy. Joe has a real nice looking jump shot. Ball comes out of his hand with good rotation. He gets good lift on it. But he can also mix it up inside rebounding the ball. Last season he would come in as a quiet assassin nailing a couple of threes . This season with his expanded role and minutes he still does that but a lot of the other winning plays.

Antoni runs the floor really well in transition. Can finish on the break or off the half court set. Very capable of popping the three. He is a smooth finisher around the rim using his length.
Exactly what a team needs from a squad battling for a league title. Bradley gives all he has on the court. Does the dirty work and still is able to show off a soft touch in the paint. Possesses a good handle. Excellent catcher of the ball in traffic.
On a very talented team, right in the mix for a league title. Probably the best player in the league at getting to the rim absorbing contact and finishing. He initiates the contact actually enjoys it to score inside. Has improved as a jump shooter now can drain the open three. Uses his body to protect his dribble. An athletic player off the bounce. Has shown good footwork with assortment of spin moves. Uses a nice head and shoulder fake to draw the foul or explode past his defender. One of my favorite players to watch in this league.
Carter is one of the most exciting players to watch in this league. He scores the ball in so many different ways. Crafty scorer. Can do it with a euro step, a side step three, or step back. Changes direction and speed with the ball in his hands. Excellent handle and passer of the ball. A scoring point guard. Explosive first step. Can score in bunches or get three assists in a row. A really outstanding rebounder of the ball in spite of his size.
